Square-Enix are laying the blame for the delayed release of FFXIV on the Xbox 360 at the feet of the consoles online service.
Pop quiz time; what platforms is Final Fantasy XIV coming out on? If you said "Just the PlayStation 3", I'm afraid you get a big fat 'F', because despite what Jack Tretton might have said about the game at E3 this year, it's about as far from a Sony exclusive as you can get.
At Gamecom, Final Fantasy XIV Producer Hiromichi Tanaka stressed that an Xbox 360 version was in the works, and blamed Xbox Live for the delay that will occur between the PS3/PC release and the game's appearance on the 360.
"... for FFXIV, because 360 has its own policy with Xbox Live that is different from [the] internet, that's something we're in discussions with Microsoft [about], to come to an agreement. That's one of the reasons it's not going to be launched at that point."
The odds of the two companies coming to an arrangement are pretty good, as Microsoft are unlikely to want to let such a massive franchise pass them by.
But I'll be super pissed if this game comes out for the 360, but Champions Online gets the cold shoulder from MS. I was looking forward to CO for a long long time, and I would much rather play that instead of FF XIV.
I'm still shaking my head going, 'WTF?!' over the fact that Squeenix is releasing yet ANOTHER MMOFF in the light of the utter failure, humiliation, and damnation that was FFXI. Talk about retarded. And honestly I could care less if such a game came to my beloved Jasper model 360 or the free PS3 I got along with ma-late prostitutes and humble bowing apologies Sony's been giving away to their consumers earlier this week.

I think you're confusing "I thought the game was terrible," with "The game was a failure."
What I want to know, is why there needs to be any blame at all when the game that was just announced three months ago, and technically comes after a game that hasn't even been released yet, is delayed. Sometimes I think SE just needs to fill a delay quota.
Wow. Sony just can not hold onto any decent exclusives can they. Then again, a MMO. Meh, they are welcome to it. God dammit square, cut it out with the shitty generic MMOs and start fixing up the FF series again.
For some reason...I see FFIV being a complete failure on all systems. After all, the last MMO was...yeah. Honestly, I can't recall any other time when a developer said there was something wrong with Live. This is news.
Avykins: Wow. Sony just can not hold onto any decent exclusives can they.
Please don't start the flames in fanboy hearts.

I'm mildly certain that they forgot how to fix it.
WON'T YOU TAKE ME TO. MITHRA TOWWWN. They could just release it on the other two than on 360 later. Looking forward to leveling the good old Red Mage again.

Do you have any idea how huge the game was in Japan? SE don't really give a toss what want and good luck to them.

Champions Online is by Cryptic. And its out next month.

i know its by Cryptic, and its also not coming to 360 because of the same issue SE is talking about.

Having played it, I dont think it would work on 360.

NoMoreSanity: Wow, I remember when they said it would be PS3 only. Then came the PC version. Now the 360 version.
Indigo Dingo is probably rolling in his forum grave.
Sanity, what did I tell you about this? Count to ten and back again while talking to the carrot on your nose to the beat of your heart, you know the procedure. Let's not start this all over again.
though I do find it hilarious that Squee-nix is downplaying the 360 and yet people are going "LOL, PS3 fabois most be cr-I-ing abut this!@#!$"

Well I meant the ID thing in that he said once that the 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII was delaying the release of the full game. Kind of laughing at how this correlates.

I know why do they seem to not want to make money?

Angron: aww, poor ps3 fanboys who made a big fuss about this...
i personally couldnt care....its an online game so ill leave it and just wait for FF13
Fanboys made a big fuss about this? Really?
...Where did this happen?
well PSW mag hadlike a whole article on this about how they were so happy that they got it and the 360 jerks couldnt play it...
i think its better like this, but over console play would be good...i dunno if enough PS3er will be able to populate it will they? but then the PS3 priceis down now...

Wait are you saying he's in his grave laughing or rolling in agony? I thought it was the latter >_>;

uhh i just saw a video today that said it is
Link please because I really want to see this
As do I. It was one of the exclusives that led me to buying a 360, and then the rug was pulled out from underneath me.
Casual Shinji: I don't think there'll be any Square-Enix exclusive on the PS3, not even Kingdom Hearts 3.
That's what I've been praying for ever since FFXIII was announced on both platforms. I love Kingdom Hearts.
Also, if this game is anything like the last game (a grindfest) I won't spend my money on it. I play MMOs with a bunch of grinding for free online.
EDIT: Just curious, in case this game ends up being good. On the 360, would you have to pay an extra subscription fee to play FFXIV, or would the Xbox Live subscription cover it?
I do not understand what PC or the PS3 has to do with X-Box live and I don't see why it has to be delayed JUST for it. This treatment is becoming incredibly tiresome.
